Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I think this is a helpful post, for understanding not only the Venezuela attack also, e.g., the national guard deployment in 2025 and its mysterious end (outside of DC).
Their stated policy aim of a broad, brutal mass deportation program is not fake. But the videos—the content—is more important.

Thinking again about how the administration sees its self as content creators first as it becomes clearer that we don't have a plan in Venezuela

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Since Trump overthrew Maduro he hasn't shut the fuck up about bombing Mexico & Cuba and stealing Greenland. He feels emboldened. We need a wall of resistance and a backlash like he's never seen or he'll keep marauding looting and pillaging his way to the 4th reich.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

From Trump's perspective, Venezuelans' rights, interests, and agency are absolutely irrelevant. We--the US--"need to be surrounded by safe countries" and we--the US--"also need the energy out of the ground." This is "when you're a star, they let you do it" but as foreign policy.

Hopefully people won’t use the utter lawlessness or recklessness of this to blunder into suggesting Maduro or his government were good, or to disparage the people who have suffered under him.

That never came close to a justification or argument for war other than naked plunder. Zero awareness of any of the risks. And Rubio’s calling Havana’s leadership “senile incompetent old men” while standing next to Trump was beyond dark irony.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
